Our nationally renowned team of surgical, radiation and medical oncologists has the expertise and skill necessary to treat all stages of your renal pelvis and ureter cancer. They have wide-ranging experience in the safest, most effective therapies for cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter.

As a Scott & White patient, you’ll also benefit from having a multidisciplinary team — your Integrated Care Team — working together to provide you with the best care possible at all stages of your cancer treatment.

In addition to the collegiality among the team of physicians and ancillary staff here, the physicians working in the same space physically — communicating easily with each other — combined with the electronic medical record, where the physicians can communicate electronically together, make it easier to provide good quality health care because everything’s in one place.

Collaborative Care and Expertise Help Ensure the Best Outcome for You

Your Integrated Care Team will met to discuss your specific needs and determine the best treatment options for you to consider. Then your lead physician will talk with you and, if you’d like, your family, about the team’s recommendations.

Together, you and your lead physician will decide which treatment choice is best for you.

Throughout your treatment, your physicians will continue to meet regularly to discuss your care. This ongoing, close collaboration helps ensure the best outcome for you.

Following active treatment, your Integrated Care Team will work with you to create the most appropriate follow-up care plan.
